#OUK314 17J students, if you have a few mins now you’ve finished the module, we’d really appreciate it if you could DM us what you’ve found useful/helpful about this account (hopefully *something*!) & what you would’ve liked more of. That’ll help shape what happens for 18J.

Pleased that @kthompo and I were able to write about a challenging but important subject.. the impact of abortion legislation in NI on the lives and mental health of women and their families. #mentalhealth #abortiondebate xitter.cf/conversationuk/status/…
